Senior Data Reporting & Analytics Consultant

The Senior Data Reporting & Analytics Consultant serves as the strategic analytics advisor and business partner for assigned functions and leadership teams within National Security Services (NSS). This role combines business consulting, analytical expertise, and executive communication to help leaders make informed decisions, improve performance, and achieve organizational objectives.

As the primary analytics partner for assigned stakeholders, this individual develops a deep understanding of business operations, priorities, challenges, and opportunities. They move beyond simply reporting what happened to identify why it happened, what it means, and what actions should be taken.

The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, highly analytical, and naturally inclined to ask questions that uncover root causes and hidden opportunities. They are equally comfortable facilitating conversations with executive leaders, developing performance frameworks and KPIs, conducting complex analyses, and building impactful data visualizations in Power BI.

This role requires strong business acumen, critical thinking, relationship management, and the ability to transform complex information into actionable insights that drive measurable outcomes.

This is a fully remote position reporting directly to the National Security Services Director of Data Reporting & Analytics.
